What brought people to Florida? What was it that brought individuals to the stretch of land along the Indian River that encompassed future Micco and Grant? Early Florida, from the 1870s through the 1920s, represented a vision of a better life. It was a new start, a healthier environment, a natural paradise, affordable land, riches, or freedom. Like the West, it was everyone's answer to what they were missing in life. Micco & Grant: Settlements in the Florida Wilderness is a history of the stretch of land along the Indian River in Florida, encompassing the small towns that developed during this period of time. It provides a snapshot into the formation of these towns as they grew and of the lives of the rugged individualists who created their homes out of this beautiful, dangerous, bountiful, and savage land. Not all of the newcomers were strong enough to cope with a lifestyle built without the trappings of civilization, but those who did prospered and formed an enduring legacy along the Indian River. Decade by decade, explore these towns and families as they grew and evolved.
